Lost Play

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or play:

    Poetry is like making a joke. If you get one word wrong at the end of a joke, you’ve lost the whole thing.

    I get a little Verlaine
    for Patsy with drawings by Bonnard although I do
    think of Hesiod, trans. Richmond Lattimore or
    Brendan Behan’s new play or Le Balcon or Les Negres
    of Genet, but I don’t, I stick with Verlaine
    after practically going to sleep with quandariness
    Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)
